BackgroundPatients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) are known to have arrhythmic events after alcohol drinking and are recommended to avoid its excessive intake. Mechanisms underlying the alcohol‐induced cardiac events are however unknown. This study aimed to test the hypothesis whether activity of alcohol‐metabolizing enzymes determines fatal arrhythmic events after drinking alcohol.MethodsA total of 198 Japanese patients with BrS were enrolled in this study. These patients were classified into symptomatic (n = 90) and asymptomatic (n = 108) groups. The former was divided into an alcohol‐related group (syncope after alcohol drinking, n = 16) and an alcohol‐unrelated group (n = 74). Polymerase chain reaction was performed to determine genetic variants of genes encoding alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2).ResultsThe genotype distribution forALDH2was not significantly different between symptomatic and asymptomatic groups and between alcohol‐related and alcohol‐unrelated groups. The genotype distribution forADH1Bwas not significantly different between symptomatic and asymptomatic groups, but the genotypeADH1BHis/His was significantly more prevalent in the alcohol‐related group than in the alcohol‐unrelated group (81.3% vs 50%,P= .023). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the genotype ofADH1BHis/His was independently associated with syncope after alcohol drinking (odds ratio, 5.746; 95% confidence interval, 1.580‐28.421;P= .007).ConclusionsArrhythmic events after alcohol drinking was associated with enhanced activity of alcohol‐metabolizing enzymeADH1Bin our cohort of BrS. Therefore, the lifestyle change to avoid the excessive alcohol intake deserves attention.
